1949 Map of Oakman
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Southern railroad line serves as the industrial backbone of this terrain, connecting mining and timber communities like Oakman and Coal Valley along the winding course of Cane Creek. In the late 1940s, the landscape was a mosaic of steep ridges and hollows, such as Birmingham Hollow and Patton Hollow, where small settlements and family landmarks were tucked away from the main rail corridors. The presence of the Patton Hill Fire Tower on Patton Hill suggests the importance of forest management in this heavily wooded region of the Walker and Fayette County border.
